Lightweight flywheel installed.



Old valve covers on so the ones that are freshly painted don't get scratched during the install.

Pull it out some weekend and paint it. If you were closer id give you a hand. We could have it out in a hour.

Yea, of ALL the sensors that could have broke, its the hardest to get to with the most to remove
